Working for Thalia is an exciting and challenging opportunity. We are an early-stage company with a small team.

You will be actively encouraged to further your skills in software engineering as well as learning new ones in machine learning, semiconductors, etc.

 

About us                                                            

Continued development in electronic engineering generates ever smaller circuits. Rather than redesign a circuit to perform the same operations as a previous larger circuit, the existing designs are migrated to the newer smaller technology.

For analog circuits, such as those in mobile phones, this migration is a time consuming and costly enterprise. Thalia are world leading specialists in developing automation software tools that use novel AI and machine learning to ensure successful migration.

Thalia Design Automation was founded in 2011 and started out developing a suite of Electronic Design Automation tools targeting Analog IC design. Since then, we have expanded and now have offices in India, Germany and the UK. With recent investment and customer engagements we are now looking to expand every department in the company over the coming year.
